Overview / Abstract: |
Target Audience Statement of Need/Program Overview PSP has a broad and variable presentation, with overlapping features of other atypical parkinsonian disorders, which contributes to the difficulties in diagnosing patients. Advances in clinical diagnosis have led to revisions of the International Parkinson's and Movement Disorder Society Criteria for the Diagnosis of PSP, of which healthcare providers must be knowledgeable. Early recognition of individuals with findings suggestive of PSP is becoming increasingly important as neuroprotective treatments are under investigation. This archived presentation will provide a clinical overview of PSP – its diagnosis (including patient cases and videos), practical strategies for symptom management, patient and caregiver education, as well as a discussion of tau pathology and recent developments in investigational therapies that modify disease progression. Learning Objectives RECOGNIZE the burden of cognitive, behavioral, and emotional changes as it relates to the progression of PSP. |
